Vincent Van Gogh is one of the artists. You know what I mean; One of the people who get lumped together when people think of artists. I’m talking Picasso, Monet, Dalí, Warhol, Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Van Gogh… See? He just fits. But like many of the greats on this list his life was less than ideal, and to say he was mentally tortured would be the understatement of the century(s).

I don’t like wearing lipstick. There, I said it. For me, the whole process is a pain in the ass. If I’m stingy and buy a drug store/supermarket lipstick I will somehow consistently pick shades that don’t suit me, yet if I splurge and go in store to a reputable brand I will always get the disinterested/bitchy sales attendant who has the envious skill of the single eyebrow raise that perfectly conveys how little she thinks of me. This, my friends, is a shitty superpower of mine. And the worst thing? If I somehow manage to find a shade I…

Thank youuuu, ancestors! So when I do reach the end of a bottle or tube of something it’s a momentous occasion, and I generally have a Viking-style funeral for each item. Joking. I normally just chuck them in the bin, but I’ve been hoarding them like a little trash monkey these last few months so I could run you through the few products I use, and why…

Have you ever found yourself surrounded by family and thinking “How did I get so lucky”? Well, I did this weekend, and after I got home from our Easter lunch on Sunday and started going through the photos it really hit me. Not only is my family full of some of the kindest, weirdest & funniest people I’ve ever met, but they match my kind/weird/funny perfectly.
